President Donald Trump announced that he will direct the Pentagon and other federal agencies to begin identifying and releasing government records related to extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and UFOs. In a Truth Social post, Trump cited “tremendous interest” from the public and pledged transparency regarding what he described as “highly complex, but extremely interesting and important” matters. The directive follows renewed media attention surrounding comments by former President Barack Obama, who discussed the statistical possibility of life beyond Earth while clarifying that he saw no evidence of extraterrestrial contact during his presidency.

Trump, speaking aboard Air Force One, questioned whether classified information had been casually referenced in recent interviews and stated he would pursue a formal review and release of relevant files. The announcement is likely to reignite decades of speculation surrounding government secrecy, unexplained aerial sightings, and the growing normalization of UAP discussions within military and intelligence communities. What was once fringe has now moved squarely into mainstream political discourse, with bipartisan calls for greater disclosure.
